You can download the latest OpusFSX with the Live View and Live Camera features here. |
|
Drivers Included for CPFlight MCP737PRO and EFIS737PRO Panels |
|
All device drivers are aware of any new aircraft selections even if the aircraft is changed in mid-flight. The appropriate interface (SimConnect, FSUIPC4 or the manufacturer's SDK) will be initialised and employed automatically whenever necessary. |
|
The OpusFSX interface is ideally suited to both standalone and networked FSX systems. On standalone systems, OpusFSX provides excellent camera creation, control and docking facilities through its Live Camera interface. OpusFSX also includes several excellent weather themes for Microsoft's Flight Simulator X. Many more additional weather themes will be available in the near future, please check the downloads page of this website for details.

Future Development Plans |
|
Live Traffic Live Traffic will supplement the Live View multi-screen networked displays by synchronizing all AI traffic. |
|
Live Weather Live Weather is planned to be a standard feature within the OpusFSX Flight Simulator Interface for Microsoft's Flight Simulator X; this feature will provide a live weather update (weather engine) option for FSX. Only one networked computer will have the Live Weather feature enabled, and this computer will need internet access to allow the FSXSERVER or FSXCLIENT program to obtain the latest 'live' weather (met) reports. |
|
Device Drivers The device drivers provide an interface to the popular panels and Addon hardware for FSX. Each device driver will interface to the relevant aircraft simulation thereby eliminating the need to install separate drivers dedicated to each aircraft. |
|
Live View synchronized multi-screen networked display for Microsoft Flight Simulator X. Live Camera creation, control and management for Microsoft Flight Simulator X. Device drivers for CPFlight’s MCP737PRO and EFIS737PRO panels. |
|
The latest release includes an upgraded Live Camera interface with improved editing of cockpit and external ‘Aircraft’ camera views. Single joystick buttons and keyboard commands can now be assigned to multiple camera views allowing coordinated changes to networked multi-screen Live View displays. Twelve additional weather themes included. |
|
The current version of the OpusFSX Flight Simulator Interface for Microsoft Flight Simulator X includes separate high-performance server and client programs and incorporates the Live View multi-screen networked display and Live Camera view control and docking software. |
|
On networked systems, irrespective of the size and complexity of the system, whether your system consists of a main 'flying' PC with a single networked laptop client, or a more elaborate multi-computer networked system; the Live View interface will provide you with the high-performance networking software you need to create a multi-screened display system. Whether you simply want an additional controllable display to provide further scenic or external view options, or wish to create a multi-screened panorama for your FSX experience, Live View offers you the ideal no hassle user-friendly solution. |
|
With Live View, Opus Software have used their 25 year experience of developing high-performance real-time networked telemetry and data acquisition systems, to provide the networking software you need to create a multi-screened experience for FSX. No matter what complexity of system you intend to create, Live View will provide the ideal solution. |
|
A networked Live View system is created by activating the FSXSERVER program on your main 'flying' computer, and running the FSXCLIENT program on each of your connecting client systems (PCs or laptops). The programs can be activated in any order, with or without FSX, which greatly simplifies the set up of your system. |
|
The configuration of the Live View system is simple to the extreme, just tell the main 'flying' server how many Live View clients you wish to support, and configure the server's computer name or IP address into each of the client systems, and away you go. You can sit back and watch your client systems connect and start communicating with the server. Spy buttons help you monitor the activity over all of the networked links, or monitor the overall activity and operation of the FSXSERVER FSXCLIENT systems. |
|
· Live View synchronizes the aircraft's current position, attitude, flaps, gear and lights configuration, simulator's date/time, with either weather themes or full Metar weather updates for the surrounding area. · Live View employs and optimizes multiple dedicated high-performance network links to provide the highest level of performance and the smoothest possible operation. · Live View requires minimal set up and configuration to get up and running. · Live View on the demo version of OpusFSX will run for 10 minutes allowing you to evaluate the software and ensure full compatibility with your system. |
|
With Live View you can easily create that multi-screened display experience for your FSX system. The system can be as simple or complex as you desire. The multiple screens can be used to display any variety of cockpit 'out of the window' or external views, including the creation of panoramic displays. The set up and configuration of your system is further simplified using the in-built Live Camera interface. |
|
Live Camera provides you with a user-friendly interface for creating, controlling and managing any number of virtual cockpit, 2D cockpit and external aircraft views for your flight simulator system. These camera views may be used to enhance your flight simulator experience on a standalone system, providing view control with the press of a joystick button or the use of an assigned keyboard key sequence. On networked systems you have the means to create a multitude of displays including wide sweeping panoramic views of the outside world. |
|
All camera views are created, controlled and managed from the main 'flying' server system, with live view adjustment for each of the client system camera views. Joystick buttons and keyboard sequences can be assigned to individual views or multiple camera views spanning the networked system. Duplicated button or key assignments permit simple and fast coordinated changes to your multi-screened display with a single button press or key stroke. |
|
Live Camera will soon feature a Dynamic Head Movement (DHM) option based on actual 3D accelerometer readings for the ground, airborne, turbulent, and landing phases of the flight. |
|
· Live Camera provides a user-friendly interface for creating, controlling and managing any number of virtual cockpit, 2D cockpit and external aircraft views. · Live Camera creates, controls and manages all views from the 'flying' server system, with live view adjustment for each of your client system cameras. · Live Camera allows joystick buttons and keyboard key sequences to be assigned to individual or multiple views. · Live Camera enables default views to be specified facilitating the use of multiple screens or the creation of panoramic views over networked systems. · Live Camera gives full control over Dynamic Head Movements all based on real-life 3D accelerometer readings. |
|
The current version of the OpusFSX software also includes device drivers for the CPFlight MCP737PRO and EFIS737PRO panels interfacing to the standard FSX aircraft. Other device drivers and aircraft interfaces will be added in the near future, including in-built driver support for the PMDG 737NGX and iFly 737NG aircraft. |
|
OpusFSX uses both Microsoft's SimConnect and Pete Dowson's excellent FSUIPC4 SDK to interface with FSX. Feel free to download our demonstration software. The unlicensed version of the FSXSERVER program will operate in a Demonstration Mode for 10 minutes allowing you to evaluate the software and ensure full compatibility with your system. |
|
System Requirements
· Microsoft Flight Simulator X with SP2 or Acceleration Pack. · Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7 (32 or 64-bit version) operating systems. · Microsoft .NET Framework Version 2. · Pete Dowson's FSUIPC4. · 40 MB hard disk space. |
